[size=15pt]10 Reasons why Many Churches do not grow[/size]

1: Colorless Origins of the Pastor's Ministry: A story like driviing for miles without gas in your tank is stuff Moses used on a whole nation way back then in Egypt grin good for pulling-in the spiritually dis-franchised crowds grin
2: Following Christian Dogma teh catholics have tried it (still at it) and look at where it has got them, empty pews and a slew of pedophilia charges sad
3: Preaching Repentance and Salvation Now one likes to be told he/she is a sinner, they want to do it themselves at their own pace. but they will sure love to hear how you got so rich being a man-of-mammonGod and all. So preach prosperity for sinners and believers (God is infintely merciful and hell is not for members of this church
4: Weak Branding Branding is important (No arguments there) take a good look at Pastor Kris and TBJ to see how their respective branding has impacted their ministry grin
5: Weak Marketing (Evangelism) No arguments there either, you must deluge your target with Miracles, Seminars, Deliverance Sessions, Pregnancy solutions, Marriage solutions etc grin
6: Preaching Hell and End-times prophecies No one wants to hear the bitter truth, stick with the message of prosperity
7: Chauvanism in allocation of administrative roles: Women cana ne in on the game too
8: Weak Profit Models: A regular stream of funding-hungry projects like Jet-4-Pastor outreach, Experience 4, New University for Rich nin-members etc
9: Union or Memberships to Christian Associations The isolated you are, the better for your ministry, PFN and CAN membership does not add crowd to your church or money to your pocket
10: Over-dependence on the Holy Spirit: He is tired of people listening to the voices of competing pastors, so stick with the program; less Gospel and More Church

These are the 10 COmmandments of Building a Good and Fast-Growing Church
